No claim settles this problem.
Open. No proof or disproof of the statement for an arbitrary sum-free was found in the search whose scope the Current assessment records. Two special cases are not the problem. The case Sidon (the site's variant) is claimed by an argument that AlphaProof found, merged as a Lean proof into the formal-conjectures statement file on 6 January 2026, posted to the site's discussion on 7 January 2026 and adopted by the site's commentary; the first case of that argument also covers every of cardinality less than without the Sidon hypothesis. It is recorded as a pending partial claim on its claim page (Deepmind, 2026), which the commentary on an open problem does not make accepted. The case of with the property of Baire is argued in a thread comment of 23 January 2026, not adopted by the commentary; it is a thread post, not a dated manuscript or a Lean proof, so it has no claim page. The proof-claim tab is empty. This is a bounded negative finding, not a certificate of openness.
